I'm facing a similar issue where on a Windows 10 laptop, Firefox Nightly and Stable freezes, itself along with the entire OS and I have force reboot the laptio happens randomly with a pattern as to whenever I place cursor in a text input field and begin typing something. Please address this asap.

Reopening based on comment 6.

Could you clarify what you mean by "click next one"? Are you simply clicking from one tab to the next? Is a text cursor displayed somewhere after you click on the next tab?

I just tried to reproduce this again but still can't get it to hang. We might have to collect a minidump of the hanging process to help us investigate.

thats right, i simple click from one tab to the next one and back.. and try again - it seems like that one of the tabs reload the page and then the freeze/lag begin.
